> what did it say? Here's the script I used: for ((i=0; i<2100; ++i)); do cp x FILE.$i done The "x" file is just under 1GB big. I expected the script to fail at roughly the i=2000 mark. At the i=1001 point, I just got a string of "... no space left on device." messages from cp. BTW - while this loop was executing, I was getting about 1GB/min via the cp command. You say you're getting 1GB every 10 seconds. How are you doing it? The box I'm using is a 2 CPU XEON @2.4Ghz with 2G RAM running absolutely stock FC1 - no patches whatsoever. I don't believe any patches would address this issue. -- Bill Gradwohl YCC (817) 224-9400 x211 www.ycc.com SPAMstomper Protected E-mail www.stomperware.com
